It's intriguing!

Hahaha I love this idea

For once, the Japanese box art is much less interesting.

Box art for the same game. The gang is all here

The box art promises a good time. The ice cream sandwich enemy is front and center, which makes sense because he is an absolute icon.

But the graphic designers said: no. This cannot be enhanced, it must be balanced. There is no action without stillness just as there is no shadow without light.

Today's preoccupation is the strangely empty image on the Chameleon Twist (N64) cartridge.

So much negative space. You can almost hear a gentle breeze.

Somebody eternal sunshine this outta me

Horrid little creature from Zelda 64. It's like a cast iron pot grew an eye stalk? And then a mouth? This is just a relatively low poly model, I refuse to look at the concept art

Why have I never before perceived the hideous mouths on the Beamos from Ocarina of Time? Did I refuse to perceive them? Did my brain edit them out of my memory?

The box cover to For The Queen, decorated like a storybook (the title) and a stained glass window showing roses and five possible queens in different art styles: a regal white-haired queen, a folklore sun-themed queen, a mermaid, a cyberpunk hacker, and a knife-wielding, horror movie beauty queen

Answer prompts to tell the story. You've spent years in the service of your queen, but one final journey decides her fate. Genre-spanning art means a multitude of tarot-inspired queens can shape the tale

90s ass lookin painting instructional video

Yo was there ever an official release of the OST for this

Aahhh this is so cool!

Thanks Pascal :) have fun at Breakout!!

Yes this last note is so important! Sometimes a well GMd session is helpful for new players but pick-up-and-play oneshots, in my experience, open even very inexperienced players up to the possibility of *making* a game

This is so up my alley it must be taking place in my house

This is how I respond when people say you "must be really creative" or "have good improv skills" to play TTRPGs

If you like learning and then getting to demo some TTRPGs get your ass to Open Space this Friday, Lino and I are gonna kill it. Pls pls pls bring your friends who are RPG-curious, they are my fav kind of people

The enthusiasm, the passion, the frantic insistence. Diva behaviour.

I went to a party last night where the theme was "diva behaviour." Not usually a vibe I'm working with but I asked the host "Is Ken Penders a diva" and her yes was so immediate and absolute I knew I was in for a good time

A guy at my regular rpg meetup is trying to do this - a Transformers LARP that has the card based structure of Juggernaut but also sawed-in-half pool noodles for robot energy swords. It's ambitious!

killer combo. I want to hear all about it!

The editing is flawless, everyone is saying this

Probably the work I'm most proud of from 2025! Everyone please listen and then tell me your critiques

Yes, simple lines/shapes give more space for the erotic imagination to project itself onto! I also think that smooth, exaggerated forms feel like a safer place to play - to imagine feelings/dynamics without the messy reality of human bodies

I love this piece, and not just because I'm a theology dork - the reasons why Sonic makes for a popular object of Christian fanart are, I think, similar to the reasons why he is a fetish icon

three sprites of a nice old guy

In 2025's last act of utter self-indulgence, I'm going to be ranking all the depictions of Cid from Final Fantasy as seen on Magic: the Gathering cards.

Cid is a recurring character in the series, usually a good guy, makes machines and stuff. I haven't played the newer games so I think of him like

I see the cocky grin, there's something there. Also lol at how out of place FF13 looks on here but I'm not mad about it

Like many on this list, I can respect that he's *somebody's* top pick by far

would love to hear your faves, Jeff

plane guy I feel like I could at least have a conversation with
